Paul Jones, the mayor of Ravenna, Ohio, resigned in mid-term and moved to Florida. Coincidentally, he left town just as he earned 30 years of civil service for his pension. Also, coincidentally, he is being investigated by the FBI. Part of the investigation involves a lawn mowing and snow removal service owned by his son.

According to Rick Armon's story in the Akron Beacon Journal, "Neighborhood Development Services Inc., a nonprofit housing and
economic development entity that manages millions of dollars for
Ravenna and Portage County, acknowledged this week that it hired Paul
Jones Jr. for mowing services and paid him more than $274,900 for work
between 1997 and 2004.

NDS also has said it ended the deal partly because the mayor — not his son — was doing the mowing."
